I just found out that my bug report is totally inaccurate. The missing files were caused by .cvsignore files in the source tree, even if you specify cvs import -I !
While the man page has a clear warning on this, the info manual (which I used) requires you to check another note to find the information. Sorry for the mess, Lars -- Lars Brückner [EMAIL PROTECTED] IT Transfer Office, Darmstadt University of Technology http://www.ito.tu-darmstadt.de
